How Turner will impact Newton and CMC

[panthers55]

I hope that Turner is everything that folks are saying about him. I won't know what to think or do if we actually had a high power offense around here. Other than 2008, 2015 and around 1999 we have not had a consistently dynamic offense. It would be great for a change.

You bring up 1999.  Most forget S. Beuerlein was a Pro Bowler that year.  Seifert the idiot didn't want him back.  That was a good year.  Too bad we still sucked.

These are the WRs the Panthers have drafted over the years:

Senters, Moose, Baker, Carruth, Hayes, Turner, Smitty, Young, Colbert, Carter, Jarrett, Robinson, LaFell, Edwards, Gettis, Pilates, Adams, KB, Funchess. 

I didn’t bother with first names since nearly all were invisible in the NFL. Outside of Smitty, none were great and only Moose, KB and Funchess are above JAG-level talents. That’s a sad commentary on the WR drafting of this franchise. Let’s hope the new regime can change that.

I was really happy when Beuerlein was here. Sure we still finished in the middle of the pack but after the Collins debacle it was nice to get someone in there who cared about the team and worked hard. He took a ton of sacks and kept hanging in there and his run at the goal line against Green Bay was pure desire and toughness.

"The Draw". Probably the greatest play/game in Carolina history. 9 lead changes in that  game and the last one with 5 secs left sealed the win. Seifert hated Beuerlein for whatever reason (or just loved Lewis more). That play was just crazy enough to work. Only good thing Sefiert did here but I loved Beuerlein.

IT SHOCKED THE WORLD WHEN HE DID THE QB sneak.

What I didn't realize till I looked at his stats.  14 yrs in the NFL his longest tenure with any team was 5 yrs and that was with Carolina.

Top 5 for sure, but #1 for me is X-Clown (Delhome to Agent89 in double overtime against the Rams in the Divisional round).

As funny as it sounds considering the KB trade. I honestly think Turner brings in a big body WR who can win jump balls ( in the mold of Vincent Jackson ). Lets look at what we have currently :

Funchess : Young WR with good length and hands, doesn't play the most physical but he can be really shifty in his routes. Honestly the guy can get open short, mid and long. He just lacks ( for now, kid is getting better everyday ) that jump ball/box out skill. 

Samuel : I get it, he was hurt this year. Doesn't mean we should count him out. Injuries happen. His was especially tough because the hammy kept him out and then he ended up injuring his knee. If you pay attention WR with hamstring injuries take a while to get up to speed after they heal. Samuel was doing just that, he was just starting to shine when a freak knee injury sidelined him. Hes got deep speed and a lot of agility for the underneath stuff. Smaller WR though so he won't be physically beating CBs all game, he's biggest value is getting open between 5-10 yards from the LOS and YAC. He IS going to be a weapon here. Y'all need to calm down with the injury prone talk. Its been 1 season, if hes out next season then its valid. 

Byrd : Speed for days, our true deep threat. He needs to work more on his route game, but man he can fly. We know Cam loves the deep ball. 

We are just missing that big body, you can't jam me because I'm going to throw you around anyways come down with the jump ball WR. ( this is what KB lacked IMO )

 

We aren't far. Cam has a lot of weapons if everything goes well.
